[GeoffK]

btw, no idea what happened to the last part. It VANISHED!

I got this out of Google Cache from Thread 3.

And this one works with ALL the multi-packs and MOST of the boxed sets. The 10-CD $129 Led Zeppelin Set? $51.99 delivered!

[ec461]

Just closed my first account. I had 4 accounts at 2 different addresses and I just closed my first one tonight. I got an email saying that it'll take 3-4 business days for them to close the account. Once that's done, should I wait before opening another account with the same address? FWIW, different addresses aren't a problem for me at all. Since I'm in college, I move every year anyway. :)

[SFranke]

You don't have to wait. If BMG doesn't want you to have an account after trying to join again so soon, then they just won't approve your account, and you can try again later.

[ec461]

You don't have to wait. If BMG doesn't want you to have an account after trying to join again so soon, then they just won't approve your account, and you can try again later.I thought they blacklist you if they find you opening multiple accounts...oh well, I'll give it a shot later today.

[SFranke]

You have by your own admission 4 accounts open, yet you're worried about a blacklist? 4 days won't get you on the blacklist, but 4 accounts is a good start.

[DeltaSigChi4]

Any new codes? Looking to fulfill an account with a b1g4 offer.

E

[Doctor X]

Ask and you shall receive...

Not sure of the expiration date on these but since they are July codes, I would not expect them to last long.

Good timing on the new codes. I need to fulfill an account ASAP and they also just added the remastered catalog of Elvis Costello. Thanks, Doctor X.

[eglenn]

...and they also just added the remastered catalog of Elvis Costello.

Thank you sir.

[bigjim25]

Doctor X - Wouldn't it be easier to edit the first post with new codes and delete the old ones that don't work so we can find them without looking through a bunch of posts? Either way I want to pass along a big thanks for your time in doing this. :up: Maybe also add BMG's phone number in first post - 1(317)692-9200

[Funk]

I need to fulfill an account ASAP and they also just added the remastered catalog of Elvis Costello.

Your money would be better spent hunting down the Rhino 2-disc versions. Some of the bonus discs are better than the albums they accompany. Every one I've heard has been excellent. They're not hard to find and they're not that expensive. Might want to get 'em while you still have the chance.

Thanks for the heads-up. I assumed that these were the Rykodisc versions. Oh well, I already own most of the Rykodisc versions already-I just need to pick up two of his weaker efforts(IMO of course, but still very good albums)-Goodbye Cruel World and Punch the Clock.

[Funk]

All (?) of the new E.C.'s that just showed up on BMG are from Hip-O (Universal.)
Ryko did special editions. Then a few years ago, Rhino did them again. Then last year Hip-O started doing one disc versions that match the running orders of the original US albums.

There's a ton of info out there (try www.stevehoffman.tv/forums) and the general consensus is that the Rhino versions are the way to go, both for bonus material and for sound quality. YMMV (but I doubt it :) .)

The thread wouldn't get bumped if the first post is edited. Besides, it is not that hard to find the latest codes if you work your way backwards.

[Manos]

I actually prefer this format. New codes only last a few days, and they don't expire on the same day. It's an editing nightmare to remove each expired code only, leaving the codes still in effect.

[ec461]

Yeah, I like the way it is now too - i.e. posting codes in a new post. It gives me an incentive to keep up with the whole thread and read other members' posts.

[Josh-da-man]

I prefer the curent format as well.

With threads like this, that are constantly being updated with new information, I find it much easier to just read the new posts instead of reading the new posts AND flipping back to the first page.

[Doctor X]

Here are a few new ones...

My 5th account got approved today without any problems. Yay :)

To open this account, I closed 3 of my previous accounts online. It's been about a week since I did that, but I can still login online. I'm gonna call BMG on Monday and see what's up...

[SFranke]

It's normal to be able to log in to canceled accounts. Save yourself the phone call.

[rjp]

I hate being stupid, but where do I type these codes in, where it says "Enter Gift Certificate Redemption Number"?

If that's it, none of them are working for me.

RJP

[Funk]

Since they are promotion codes, you can try entering them in the box where it says:
Enter promotion code:
on the left side of the screen.

[ec461]

It's normal to be able to log in to canceled accounts.You mean forever? Or will it stop after a month or so?

Thanks - you really did save me a phone call. I have to call them anyway to order some multi-disc sets for free though...oh well, one phone call less always helps. :)

[SFranke]

I just tried logging in to an account I closed a few months ago. Worked like a charm.

[ec461]

I just tried logging in to an account I closed a few months ago. Worked like a charm.Haha. That's funny. I take it you don't have to decline Featured Selections anymore though, do you?

Right.

I don't know if this is useful to anyone, but here goes anyway.

I recently discovered that box sets are 20% cheaper on fulfilled accounts versus unfulfilled accounts.

[Sweet Baby James]

Here's another new code that's different from the batch that Doctor X just posted-

75% Off

G7T3

This one expires on 8/13.

[ec461]

I don't know if this is useful to anyone, but here goes anyway.

I recently discovered that box sets are 20% cheaper on fulfilled accounts versus unfulfilled accounts.I don't think it has to do with whether the account has been fulfilled or not. I think it has to do with length of membership. I have 2 fulfilled accounts right now. One is much older than the other and it shows the Buffalo Springfield box for $32 whereas the other shows $40...BMG is weird

Just a warning: it seems BMG is surreptitiously removing Columbia jazz and fusion albums from their site. The past few weeks have seen the removal of Santana and Mahavishnu's Love, Devotion, Surrender, Miles Davis' In a Silent Way, Filles de Kilimanjaro, Get Up With It, and Bitches Brew, and Weather Report's Mysterious Traveler. These are only the ones I've noticed. Anyway, it might be wise to move up similar Columbia albums up in priority.

Also, it seems Frank Sinatra and Ramones fans will have new releases in the future.

I know this has probably been asked a thousand times before in previous threads but I can't find the other parts in this forum. When I fulfill my membership with BMG it asks me to enter a specific code to fulfill. Do I somehow enter both or is does it pretty much count no matter the promotion code you enter(as long as you buy one at full price)? Thanks.

[eglenn]

Any full-price selection should do it, although you won't see it credit to your account for several days.

Most folks use "Buy 1, Get 4 Free" to get the biggest bang for their full-price purchase.

Thanks for posting that. I hadn't noticed the new offer and I really like The Fratellis. I just gotta find a CD to pair with it now.

[bigjim25]

so how much again is each cd if I use the buy 1 get 4 free coupon?
5 $18.98 CDs would average about $6.59 each with shipping/handling = $32.93

[bigjim25]

I haven't seen a Music Discovery CD on my account in awhile. How do you find them?

[SFranke]

When you sign in, it should be in on the left side of the screen. It is a light blue box and is above the account information/YOU HAVE FREE MUSIC etc. links.

It appears on my account with the Modern Rock preference but not on the one with the Jazz preference.

Thanks. The country preference must be like the jazz preference (none at this time). Maybe it only shows every so often when you take advantage of the deal. This is the only box I have there.

[dadaluholla]

I have the Music Discovery option, but my free disc is some band called Paolo Nutini! Which sucks, because I would have liked to get that Fratellis disc free.

[Doctor X]

No Music Discovery for me either, preference is metal. I tried changing to modern rock to see if that mattered, but it didn't for me.

So while I was there I checked and found these...

5 CDs for the Price of 1
S7F9, 12

4 CDs for the Price of 1
S7F11, 13

55% Off, Plus Free Shipping
S7F14 thru 19

[Doctor X]

well you get 16 total and pay $2.79 shipping each plus one at about $19 for a total of $63.64 which is $3.98 each.

[SFranke]

If you join with the 15-for-1 offer, the average is $3.79/disc.

As an aside, Jeff Beck's Blow by Blow, Wired, and box set are now gone. On the plus side, Jean-Luc Ponty is making a club comeback. Also in the cards is another Dream Theater album, likely to be either Systematic Chaos w/ DVD or Score.

[pjflyer]

When I buy my fulfillment title I usually purchase 5 2 disc sets with the buy1get4 sale.

Is there a way to sort 2 disc sets on bmg? Is there a list anywhere?

Anyone have any recommendations?

I'm looking into the Cure reissues, Highwaymen, Dwight Yoakam reissue.

[Doctor X]

one way that might work is to do a title search for "2 cd" This would only give you something that is listed as a 2 cd deluxe set for example, or search for "dvd" which would list cd/dvd combos. I'm not sure about standard double disc sets.

Also here are some new codes for October...

OK, I've tried to see if I could find the logic behind Free Shipping. This may not be 100% true, but it holds up so far:

If the offer is "Free Shipping", it works for Regular Selections and x-Packs

If the offer is "Buy x for Free Shipping", it works for Regular Selections and Box Sets.

This last "55% Off, Plus Free Shipping & Take An Additional $10 Off Your Order of 5 or More Selections" is performing something new. Free x-Pack shipping plus discounts on some of them. But, with like 3 exceptions, x-Packs don't count as a selection?

I have never found any Free Shipping that works for Overstock. <sigh>

It looks like they've been a lot of Columbia/Epic/Sony titles from their inventory. Most of the Ozzy, Judas Priest, and Clash albums are now gone. (As well as older CDs from Fiona Apple and Lamb of God.)

[Manos]

I learned in the Steve Hoffman forum that all Sony/BMG CD titles, including Columbia/Legacy and RCA Living Stereo, are now deleted from the BMG and Yourmusic clubs.

[SFranke]

At least there's an word on the matter from someone in the know.

Unfortunately, BMG appears to be taking this departure in stride. While their selection of artists that people might actually want to listen to withers away, a never-ending succession of poor releases continually make their way into the club, which I'm assuming is because the licensing fees of these albums are next to nothing. I'd happily pay more per disc if they would increase the quality of their catalog.

[brucehf]

Have you looked at Musical Heritage Society and Jazz Heritage Society? They only sell classical and jazz music, but their catalogs are focused and of high quality, especially, I think, the jazz club. Both still carry Sony/BMG titles.

One drawback of the MHS/JHS clubs is that non-members can only see a small selection of enrollment titles. I am a member, and would be happy to look up any artist or title you need to know about.

I found no Philip Glass.

Thanks for the tip about the JHS club, Manos. What is the average price for members only titles?

How many music points can one use at a time?Right now,I have 24.Can I use all 24 at once?
Also,it says that I have 5 free CDs.Can I order a CD/DVD set and use 2 of my free picks to cover the cost(minus shipping)?

[hamburgerpimp]

Any 15 for the price of 1 enrollment codes going on right now?

[SFranke]

From bottom to top:

bmgmusic.com/bmgfreecds

There's no limit to the amount of music points you can redeem. However, you can only redeem them in groups of 19. Thus, you have one CD, and you'll have another free one when you get 14 more.

Yes, you can use two free CDs to order a CD/DVD combo.

Those waiting on FS codes: Doctor X and SBJ don't hold out, so they'll post it ASAP. In other words, begging doesn't help. However, the holiday season is upon us, so there will be plenty of good codes soon.

[BobO'Link]

^Although why you would want to use 2 free CDs to do this escapes me. The "combo" would need to have a regular club price of at least $38 to efficiently use those points since you can get 2 $19 selections for that. I would think these would be better values and maximize savings when ordered using % off codes.

Does this work like CH were you have to buy another in January to get the 2 free or will you just get the 2 free with no other purchase? Cause Buy 1 Get 4 Free now plus 2 free in January would be pretty sweet. It didn't say anything in the details saying you'd have to buy another one in January.

[Marvin]

It says:

Make a purchase at bmgmusic.com before December 31, 2007 and you will qualify to receive 2 Free CDs with a CD purchase in January.
It seems to me that you'd have to buy another CD in January to get your 2 free ones, which doesn't seem like such a good offer.

You can get the answer yourself by clicking on the "details" link on the image on the site... Had you done this you would have read in part "...you will qualify to receive 2 Free CDs with a CD purchase in January..." which, in simple terms, means 'yes' you must buy a CD now to get this deal in January, which will be sent as an email link, which means it will NOT stack. Pretty bad deal.

Nothing new there. You will always pay shipping when redeeming FREE cd vouchers. Overall these FREE shipping "deals" usually work out saving just a few bucks over B&M prices if you can find a selection (not Premium title) you want.

[Manos]

I use free CD coupons one at a time, when I need to buy an item that is about to be deleted. It doesn't pay to use them in an offer. You're better off paying the reduced price for the discs in the offer.

I am guessing they are talking about the free shipping or possibly smaller sets like 2 discs (which would be $11.98). The best you will probably get with sets will be 65% off and free shipping.

You need to have a total of 5 discs in your order. So if you want a 4 cd box set you would need to add a single cd to the order to get free shipping.

Yeah, that's basically what I meant. Some of the free shipping codes don't work on boxsets, making them much more expensive. The code doesn't usually affect the price of the boxsets but it does remove the shipping cost - and you get a good deal for the set that way.

I do hope you are kidding.

Just in case. You are only supposed to have a digital copy of a song if you in fact own the physical CD. That is unless you purchase a digital version (ala iTunes) or the file itself was made free by the artist and/or label.

The minute you no longer own the physical CD is the moment you no longer retain the right to have that digital file. The same can be said of simply burning a copy of the disc.

Of course, many people still do and pretty much nobody will ever actually have anything done to them. However, broadcasting the fact you are doing that is probably not the smartest thing to do.

I don't know any law as I am certainly no expert in legal issues. A quick glance at google reveals that at best it is murky on both sides of the issues and there has yet to be any court decision one way or another (as I would guess is the case in most instances of the issues in the debate). It seems to all revolve around what fair use rights you have when you no longer own the physical disc. So I suppose it in the strictest terms it is not illegal, at least at this point.

Okay, random question, but I would love to [re] join BMG and I haven't seen anything covering this (I emailed "tech support" but we all know BMG customer service blows when you're a member, so I can't imagine it's any better for non members)...

What's the deal with "member's only" CDs? Can they only be purchased for full price? Can they be used as "free"/discount selections once you're a member? I want to join, but there are at least 4 or 5 CDs I want to get that are members only, and if I can eventually get them (without having to pay full price) then great, but if I can only get one (the CD I buy to fulfill membership requirements) that's not so hot.

Can anyone answer this for me? Thanks so much!

You are confusing "members only" titles with "premium titles." "Members only" titles are CDs only members can order but are fully included in any sales and are available as free/bonus selections. "Premium Titles," on the other hand, sound like what you are referring to. Premium Titles are a selection of high-demand titles that are not regular BMG-stamped discs and are available only to members at full price with no option for discount.

Current examples of both: A "members only" title is 50 Cent's "Curtis" album (#1718048); I can add this to my cart as a member and even apply a free CD credit to it. Mary J. Blige's "Growing Pains" (#1655109) is available as a "Premium Title" and has to be prepaid with no discounts.

I know this comes about a week and a half late for the original person who asked the question but I'm an infrequent reader. Sorry! :)

Here's what I was a bit confused on: Can a "Premium Title" be counted as a fulfillment item? If so, several of the ones I see are $13.98 - under the $14.98 requirement for a fulfillment purchase. Any tricks?

Yes, a premium title may be used as a fulfillment item. However, I've never attempted to purchase one that was priced below the $14.98 requirement so I don't know if the $13.98 and below ones will count. Anyone else know?

Oh I know that - I just wanted to use a Premium Title as my Buy 1. However, since all the other's would around $18.98 regular price, the Premium Title will never be the 1. Oh well, I'll just wait for the Robert Plant / Alison Krauss CD to go on sale at B&M or become a regular title at BMG.

Are they finally carrying that title now? I rarely see anything I want on there any more. B&M stores carry popular titles at $9.99 during release week so I pick them up then instead of waiting for BMG to carry it and then have it on sale as a non-Premium title. -rolleyes-

Maybe I should just cancel it.

Really - Never knew that. Thanks for the info. I'll go ahead and buy the damn album already.

Gwen Stefani's second solo cd was a premium title and then became a regular selection this past summer.

[awlez18]

does anyone have a "strategy" to get the most bang for your buck for people thinking about joining bmg?

[dadaluholla]

Gwen Stefani's second solo cd was a premium title and then became a regular selection this past summer.

I believe My Chemical Romance's Black Parade was also a premium title that became a regular selection. It takes a while for some to make the switch but it does happen.

[SFranke]

Mastodon's Blood Mountain also changed status.

And awlez18, that information is available in this thread. Seven pages isn't too much to sift through.

use the get 15/1 sign-up deal. you can find it by checking back through postings for the code or ask one of the frequently posting bmg wizards. after you fulfill, do it again with an new account. as long as you can make your picks 15 at a time it is probably the best deal. just don't start re-ordering the same titles as you will be pegged as a potential (unauthorized) reseller and be banished from the bmg kingdom. i have used this club and yourmusic.com to build a super collection of classical cds.

[awlez18]

sorry for cluttering up the thread with newbie questions but how much does a 15 for 1 account cost overall?

[Doctor X]

Here is a new one that I thought was pretty good until I tried it. Note that is is 5 selections, not 5 total discs...

15 * 2.79 = 41.85 (total shipping)
1 * 19 = 19.00 (full price selection)
total = 60.85
divide by 15 = 4.06/cd

now if you fulfill with a buy1 get 4 free code
19 * 2.79 = 53.01 (shipping)
1*19 = 19.00 (full price)
72.01/19 = 3.79/cd

Not good for boxsets then, huh? Unless you're insane and buy five different box sets.

If you're going to repeat, send a referral to a 2nd email address. That only gives 12/1 on the new account - it can't combine with 15/1 - but the first account gets 5 free discs and some music points. Also, you won't need as many selections at once, you can finish the new account quicker and take your time with the extra 5 on the first account.

and that is why it's worth consulting wizards..... :)

Holy crap! Buy one, get 7 free! Excuse me while I go fulfill an account...

Buy 1, Get 4 FREE Plus, take an Additional FREE CD

Buy 1, Get 4 FREE Plus, take three Additional FREE CDs
J8E2, 4


edit:
It looks like you get the 3 free even if you don't order any regular price cds and it seems to work at least on double cd sets...

edit again:
I just placed an order for one double and one single for a total of $7.57. After placing the order, I entered the code again and the same deal came up. Not sure how many times they would let you keep ordering 3 free cds...

[Funk]

edit:

I don't get the 3 free to show up when using J8E2 - am I doing something wrong? I get the 4 free but any after that show up as regular price.

EDIT: now it seems to be working. Go figure. :)
EDIT: looks like you can only apply the take 3 additional one time - I had a bunch of CDs in my cart.

[DaveWadding]

You can apply it twice...one for each code

[Doctor X]

You don't even have to order the B1G4 part. The first three in the order are "free" (+ shipping of course). I placed an order for a double and single cd (3 cds total) and the total was 7.57. As soon as the order went through, I entered the same code again and the additional 3 free deal came up.

This is a good way to get 2cd sets since the shipping on a 2cd is less than two singles.

[smashthesymbols]

I like this code. I wonder what will happen, will they actually ship all these CDs? I went ahead and placed one order for The Stooges Self Titled Deluxe Edition and The Hives - Tyrannosaurus Hives. $7.57 for the pair.

I noticed when I checked out that at the end it offered me a deal for 1 free CD if you apply for the Columbia House DVD club. Has anyone ever done that? Does it work? Do you really just have to apply, or do they only take it if you open an account.

[chris_sc77]

Um guys I have been using this code 5 times now and its still working. It seems to keep working for me. Should I keep using it?
Edit: ok i have used it 11 times now. It is still working. It will be very cool if i get these cd's.

[Manos]

It seems plausible, though surprising, that BMG intended this to be a Buy 1 Get 7 Free deal. It does not seem plausible that the first three discs would be free. I think that part of the deal is a mistake, and will likely be rescinded. How they do that will demonstrate their customer satisfaction commitment. I am considering whether to try the 3-Free or the Buy 1 Get 7 Free, and I'm leaning toward the latter. Any thoughts?

[Doctor X]

I had similar thoughts when I placed an order. My first thought was to use the "buy 1 get 7" deal to fulfill an account. When I saw that the first 3 were free (and it worked on 2 cd sets), I just placed that order. I figure it is worth a try, the worst they can do is cancel the order. I am just trying to exercise some restraint and not order a bunch more while they are this cheap...

You might as well try it before they change their mind.

[Sweet Baby James]

Thanks for the sweet code, Doctor X! I gave it a shot on the 2 disc Elvis Costello "My Aim is True" and the new Nightwish album.:fc:

BMG will almost definitely rescind the 3 FREE (or charge your account for them). OTOH 8-for-1 is a great deal on its own, since that works out to about $5 per disc.

[Doctor X]

I just checked my account and it shows the order that I placed yesterday as being shipped. The order detail still shows the cds as free with only shipping being charged.

I entered the code and it still comes up like it did yesterday. I could see them pulling the deal, but I would be surprised if they try to go back and charge for ones already ordered.

[chris_sc77]

I just checked my account and 6 orders i placed yesterday all show up as paid and processing.
The other 5 orders i placed show as pending credit card authorization and not shipped.
It certainly looks like i might get all 11 orders. Hooray!

[awlez18]

how do I get the get four when I buy one. (Fulfilling the account, trying for the buy 1 get 7 free)

[smashthesymbols]

I've made a few more orders today. So far, so good.

Also, I discovered that some 3 CD sets will also come up free, leaving you paying only $6.77 shipping. The only thing I've found so far is Turn Back The Years: The Essential Hank Williams Collection. It's a 3 disc set, but not listed as box set on the site. Are there any others like this?

The Rickie Lee Jones: Duchess of Coolsville Anthology is a nice 3 discer.

Also works:

[Spaceknight]

J8E4 is giving me "buy 1, get unlimited $1.99, plus 3 free"


upon further review... removing the code leaves the "buy 1 unlimited 1.99." So maybe it's adding 3 free to whatever your basic code-less deal currently is.
If anyone's stuck with 1+1.99 instead if B1G4 as the default, check your selection of the month. I've at least got a Buy This Get 2 offer there. (Course, the selection is something I actually got from BMG about 3 weeks ago. so go figure.)

[BobO'Link]

I believe My Chemical Romance's Black Parade was also a premium title that became a regular selection. It takes a while for some to make the switch but it does happen.
Interesting... I've watched over a dozen "premium titles" over the years hoping they would "make-the-jump" but they never did. Most just quietly went away and the very few that remained are still "premium". I never look at 'em anymore unless they show up doing an artist search. If they show up as "premium" I add them to my "pick up elsewhere" list and go on.

Out of curiosity, I just took a look at the "premium" titles to see what is there and discovered that there *are* a few that once were available as regular titles, went away, and are now back as "premium".

So, that's 2 of you that have chimed in on this. Anyone else seen these switch? It would be interesting to see which titles. Maybe it's more of a genre thing. I tend to look only at "Jazz", "Classic Rock", and "Hard Rock". I've not seen any of those titles I've been interested in switch to regular.

[smashthesymbols]

So what the hell has happened to BMG's catalog? Did they lose their contract with one of the big labels or something? I've noticed a lot of titles they used to carry, including a bunch I bought from them, that are now gone. The ones that jumped out at me the most are The Clash and Ben Folds.

Honestly, I'm about out of stuff I even want. I think people need to start posting their lists from this code so I can get some more ideas.

[bigjim25]

Did they lose their contract with one of the big labels or something?
They lost their contract with of all labels, Sony/BMG (which includes Arista, Columbia, RCA, among others). You'd think BMG would sell BMG CDs. Alot of those titles from those labels are available but only as premiums. :down:

You are correct about the sorry state of BMG's catalog. Each week they offer up several brand new albums from acts that no one has ever heard of or would want to take a chance on while the well of classic recordings dries up much faster than it is replenished.

There is still some good music to be had, in my opinion. I ordered: Traffic - The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys, Opeth - Damnation and Deliverance, John McLaughlin - Industrial Zen, Al DiMeola - Flesh on Flesh, Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick, Robert Fripp & Andy Summers - I Advance Masked, and Rush - A Farewell to Kings and Presto.

Going back to knock out more of my wish list: Alan Parsons Project - Tales of Mystery and Imagination, Rush - Caress of Steel, The Mars Volta - Scab Dates, Frank Zappa - Apostrophe, Adrian Belew - Side Three, Pat Metheny - As Falls Wichita, So Wichita Falls, Chick Corea - Light as a Feather, Genesis - ...And Then There Were Three....

I still look at it as this way: Get 3 free with nothing more to buy. ;) This has to be the code of the century. No cancelling and rejoining when you can just order everything this way. :D

[Doctor X]

looks like all 4 codes have changed to B1g unlimited 1.99, plus 3 additional.

I think it is whatever your standard deal is plus three free. My deal is unlimited 3.99, so the codes bring up unlimited 3.99 plus three free.

[smashthesymbols]

I think I'm done with this finally. I went a bit overboard, but at not even three bucks a CD it's hard to resist. If this code lasts I may do a couple more here and there, but I've about exhausted the list of what I want.

On a related note, does anyone know how BMG handles the bill me option? I've always used it in my 7+ years with the club, but I've never built up much of a balance. How long do they give you to pay it off? Is there a point where they cut you off and stop shipping until they get some sort of payment? My first couple show shipped, but the rest are stuck at processing. Does that mean I need to make a payment before the rest will ship?

My first couple show shipped, but the rest are stuck at processing. Does that mean I need to make a payment before the rest will ship?
In my experience, they won't let you have more than $40 of orders before they stop shipping billed orders. You have about one or two months to pay it off, and if you don't pay in that time, you get charged a $3 late fee for every month you don't pay after that.

edit again:
I just placed an order for one double and one single for a total of $7.57. After placing the order, I entered the code again and the same deal came up. Not sure how many times they would let you keep ordering 3 free cds...

i just noticed this part of your post... this is indeed a great deal! 3 cds for free with no other part. AWESOME, thanks!

[grozier]

I decided to take a leap, but show a little restraint. I have two open accounts at the moment, so I placed 5 orders under each. Mostly the 2-disc Deluxe Editions that I've had my eye on.

If they show as shipped soon, I may attempt a few more orders. However there is not much left at BMG that I want. The current state of their catalog is terrible.

My advice is to closely watch your Order History page. Check it once a day, since they seem to update overnight. I've had orders change without warning in the past. For example, I used a B1G4 code to fulfill once, but the order got cancelled and recreated without a code, which meant I got charged a LOT more. They corrected it quickly after I emailed support, but that probably won't work on these orders...

How long do they give you to pay it off?I placed an order in October for $113.41 and it shipped quick. This time I placed an order for $206.42. If you don't pay it off in 1 month you will be charged a $3 late fee but if you are just a few days late you can usually call them up and get that taken off.

My first couple show shipped, but the rest are stuck at processing.Part of mine shipped one day & the rest shipped the next day and they have showed shipped for 1-3 days now. I think there's a cut off point to when they ship. If you don't get your order in by it, they ship the next day.

[SFranke]

Most of my orders have shipped, as well, and I didn't even begin ordering en masse until the second day of the code.

I also chose the "bill me" option on a large portion of my orders to justify spending more than I would prefer at once. Despite ordering much more than $40, which has been my "cut-off" point in the past, BMG shipped out every order except those which were OOS.

[chris_sc77]

I put in 5 more orders yesterday bringing me to a total of 18 orders.

For $36.66 i ordered:
Massive Attack: Collected
Moby: Everything Is Wrong
Blur: The Best Of
The Jesus & Mary Chain: Darklands (DualDisc)
Sonic Youth: Dirty (Deluxe Edition)
Kate Bush: The Whole Story
The Cure: Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me (2 CD Deluxe Edition)
The Cure: The Head On The Door (2 CD Deluxe Edition)
Radiohead: Pablo Honey
The Chemical Brothers: Come With Us
The Chemical Brothers: We Are The Night

I think this will be all for me but I have said that before over the course of these past few days.

Has anyone actually received an email confirming a shipment? How about an email confirming an order?

I ask this because a couple of days before this code showed up I placed an order for two clearance titles and they showed as shipped the next day but I didn't get an email confirming shipment until three days after that. I haven't received an email confirming any of the "free" orders either.

I've received 10 e-mail shipment confirmations from the orders I placed on 1/16. I'm still waiting for 22 more e-mail confirmations. When I log into my BMG account 23 orders show as "Shipped," 6 show as "Processing," and 3 show as "Not Shipped." I'm not 100% sure what's up with the 3 "Not Shipped" but past experience has shown that they are probably out of stock. So, all signs are "GO."

Greatest code ever!!! Thanks OP!!! After spending a ton on the recent Amazon Blu-Ray and HD sales this wasn't something I was looking for but it is just too good of a deal to pass up. It yields a better average cost per CD than enrolling, cancelling, enrolling, cancelling, etc...without the extra effort to enroll, cancel, enroll, cancel, etc... I won't need to buy another "catalog" CD for two years with the load I just bought.

[sumdeus]

Does anyone else use do BMG, rip the cd's then sell them on Amazon? I do this and end up getting free music + about 15.00 profit once the membership is fullfilled. I have doen it 4 times this year alone referring friends.

This dude could make a killin' with this code :) I still go back to this post just see the "Uncool New Member" tag :)

No order conf emails here, but I did get one shipped email yesterday.

[chris_sc77]

I have received e-mail confirmations as well that some of my orders have shipped. Some are "Temp. Out of Stock" but many have already shipped.
And may I say sumdeus that is a damn lot of CD's you got here . I thought 18 orders was overdoing it. But 32 orders!!! Let it never be said that you don't know how to take advantage of a good deal.

Email shipping confirmations usually have a lag of about a day or two from actual shipping. BMG typically updates its systems at around 12 am PST every night - it takes about an hour or two. So the best thing to do is check online. The systems are not updated during the day at all - even if your items ship that day, the website will only be updated at night.

Yeah I figured it was something like that. My first order was placed on 1/11, it showed as shipped on 1/12 on the site. I never received an order confirmation email but on the 16th I got an email saying the order was shipped on 1/15. The reason I asked the original question is that I usually get an email confirming my orders, and also the discrepancy in ship dates on this other order.

[grozier]

I have a feeling that BMG won't even catch this glitch and it will run until it expires. They already get so many orders that are "free" with shipping as the only charge, that these may not raise a red flag. However they might get a clue if they decide to investigate the sudden increase in orders or if they read this forum...

[db27]

Seems like an amazing deal. However, when I enter any of the codes I get Buy 1 get unlimited at $1.99 and three free. Still a decent deal, but I'm not sure I'll bite...

Yes...and the first 3 discs you put in your cart are free (plus shipping obv). You don't have to order anything else.

[Sweet Baby James]

Also eyeballing The Waterboys: Fisherman's Blues (Collectors Edition).I decided to throw in one more order and went with this title along with Roxy Music "Avalon" Remastered.:)

[awlez18]

Haha, I got accepted into BMG the same day this code came out. By the way 11 orders and a big THANK YOU to Doctor X as well as everyone on this thread.

[sumdeus]

LOL! That is definitely true! Fortunately I'm young, single, have a well paying job and can take advantage of these deals :) Of course, unless I want to stay single I need to curb the spending habits, so I did make a pact with my “inner deal demon” to not buy anymore CDs or DVDs until March, so let's see how well I do...I did manage to pre-order a good lot of Blu-Ray and HD titles from Amazon in November and December so that should help (it's definitely bordering on cheating the pact but I couldn't survive without some new DVDs rolling in). The next sale that comes along like this just check in the thread to see if I broke my pact…I’m going to try like hell to pull this off! I’m trying to think of it as an early Lent commitment for that "extra" motivation :)

To reiterate what others are saying - the BMG catalog is getting to be pathetic.

[Promethean]

I was figuring out a way to look at just 2 or 3 disc sets and found that by searching for "dvd" in the category of album title a bunch, like 200, sets came up. If you already knew this then ignore--I'm new.

Yes, I also search for "Deluxe Edition", "Ultimate", or "Anthology"

[smashthesymbols]

Found a couple more 3 disc sets that come up free.

Fleetwood Mac - Live in Boston (1 CD/2 DVD)
My Chemical Romance - Life on the Murder Scene (1 CD/2 DVD)

Also, can anyone recommend any of the Dean Martin or Frank Sinatra collections they have? It doesn't need to be comprehensive, just a solid collection that will hit the songs I know.

[DaveWadding]

I have the Sinatra Reprise disc they have and it serves me well...and while I can't personally recommend it, Dino: The Essential Dean Martin is 30 tracks on one disc which will likely suit your need.

A nice kind soul by the name of bigjim25 already mentioned Fleetwood Mac Live in Boston ;)

Someone like Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin Hits CDs are the only way to go in my opinion.

So many good Frank Sinatra but I'd grab a capitol set and reprise set.
Sinatra 80: All The Best (2 CDs - 40 Capitol songs)
The Very Best of Frank Sinatra (2 CDs - 40 Reprise songs)
Classic Sinatra (1 CD - 20 Capitol songs)
Sinatra Reprise: The Very Good Years (1 CD - 20 Reprise songs)
The Best Of The Capitol Years (1 CD - 20 Capitol songs)
Romance: Songs From The Heart (1 CD - 21 Capitol songs)
The Frank Sinatra Christmas Collection (1 CD - 18 songs)
Duets And Duets II - 90th Birthday Limited CE (2 CDs - 28 songs)

Dean Martin The Essential Dean Martin (Deluxe Edition) because the bonus live CD has some funny stuff and Christmas With Dino.

Looks like it's one order per code now. Does clearing cookies help?

[Sweet Baby James]

The one account that I made a second order on appears to be locked-



Your profile could not be initialized. Please try again later.:(

[Doctor X]

I haven't had a problem logging in and all my orders show as shipped, but I only made three orders. I still have not received an order confirmation or a shipoping confirmation email.

I did notice that if you type in the codes the deal comes up as:
"Choose your 3 Free CDs! No purchase necessary!" under the normal deal.

[hamburgerpimp]

Weird. Below the "Buy 1, Get Unlimited $1.99 CDs!" banner, I'm now getting-

J8E1-3 "Choose your 1 Free CD! No purchase necessary!"
J8E4 "Choose your 3 Free CDs! No purchase necessary!"

So maybe the original 'deal' was at least somewhat intentional...

[nreyedoc]

mine show as shipping too. maybe this offer was from a disgruntled computer employee they let go. here's to hoping they "disgrunt" some more :)
